My Ford F250 has a severe "wobble" when hitting bumps in the road. The truck begins to shake violently and does not stop until slowing to about 35 mph. The first time I was traveling at only 45 mph and after that it happened at greater sppeeds up to 70 mph. At times, I thought I was going to lose control of the truck. It happened between 15-20 on my trip back to Texas. I took my truck to Ford and they are the ones who described it as a wobble. I have since learned that I am not alone with this defect, I learned this has been happening since at least 2011 and Ford will not correct this as a warranty problem even if you're vehicle is under warranty. I was told my front end was out of alignment to which I replied " if it is, it's because of the wobble", and of course the mechanic said that was not possible, but he was never in the truck when it "wobbled". I then was told about another correction, but the repairs would not be covered. So the only way to correct the "wobble" is to add steering/stabilizer shocks to the front end and pay for it out of pocket even though it is a problem that Ford knows all about. I contacted Ford customer service and they were absolutely no help telling me "after market parts", are not covered under warranty even if that is what it takes to repair the obvious defect of the Ford F250. I had no way of knowing that Ford was adding parts to the vehicle, rather I thought they were making repairs to the existing vehicle. So, it is obvious Ford knows there is a problem and how to correct the problem but they refuse to take of their vehicles or their customer safety. I believe this is a safety issue as it would be easy to lose control of the vehicle. I am asking you to please look into this problem before it turns deadly, and it will turn deadly.

While passing a slower vehicle, I hit a small bump in the road which caused the steering wheel to shake violently (death shake) almost losing control of truck. I had to move back over into my lane before I should of and pull off onto the narrow shoulder which caused about 6 vehicles behind me to swerve to miss me. After slowing to about 20 mph the shake went away. I continued on driving till I was able to pull off into a safe area to inspect for a cause, but did not see anything loose or abnormal in any steering or suspension components. Fortunately I wasn't towing my camper at the time, otherwise I may not have been here to submit this report.

While traveling at approximately 40-45 mph, when I hit a bump or series of bumps the front end tends to 'jump' if I'm cornering or will bounce the front end that effects the steering of the truck. At highway speeds (70mph) going straight hit a couple bumps in the road and the trucks front end started violently bouncing to the point I had to slow way down to less than 10mph before it smoothed back out. This is a very scary thing to happen at those speeds. I could have easily lost control and caused a horrible accident.

My F-250 has some terrible steering issues when I hit a bump and much worse when I hit a series of bumps. The front end starts bouncing and the truck will basically bounce sideways. The first time it happened I was prepared and come close to losing control. It will bounce or wobble going 40 mph just as bad as doing 55 or 60. I will not let my wife drive it on any highway, only around town because I am scared to death she might lose control and wreck or lose control and hit another vehicle. It scares the hell out of me and something needs to be done.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford F-250. While driving 69 mph over a bump in the road, the vehicle exhibited the "death wobble" from the front suspension. The contact was unable to regain control until the speed was under 40 mph. The contact stated that the previous owner had the vehicle repaired at landmark Ford trucks, Inc (3401 E clear lake ave, springfield, il 62702, (217) 528-0770); however, the failure recurred. The contact took the vehicle back to landmark Ford trucks, Inc, but the mechanic was unable to properly diagnose the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: Cas-15627787. The approximate failure mileage was 10,100. Updated 10/2/18

At 36,000 miles 2017 F250 sd began to exhibit extreme loss of control with steering after traveling over uneven roadway. Road bumps caused violent shaking of the steering at speeds in excess of 35 mph. (death wobble). Dealer inspected and replaced track bar ball joint and non-functional steering damper...drove 300 miles and wobble is back again. Very unsafe condition as malfunctions occur in traffic, no recall or technical service bulletin issued by Ford at this time. Someone is going to lose their life.

I have a 2017 Ford F250 that has "death wobble" issues. It becomes uncontrollable if it hits rough pavement on the highway, usually at 70 mph. If the truck begins to shake it is uncontrollable. It is nearly impossible to steer. The only way to regain control is to slow to about 20 mph or stop completely. While decelerating it will get worse that at 70 mph for a short time, and then slowly stop shaking. I have been to the heller Ford dealership in el paso, they replaced a steering stabilizer. The truck now has a vibration in the front end, and feels like it is going to start the death wobble again. The service manager said it was because of worn tires. They have 9/32" of tread on the front. They are however damaged from the wobble, Ford will not replace the tires. The tears have about 7/32" and are not "cupped" like the front. The truck does this while in motion on all types of pavement usually 55-70mph

Violent death wobble when hitting a bump at speeds over 50 mph. Vehicle becomes very unstable and shakes violently. Must reduce speed immediately to under 20 mph to regain control. Have taken to dealer and they cannot fix the problem. Investigating lemon law. Incredibley unsafe problem. Have seen numerous reports of this condition and still no fix/recall.

I purchased my 2017 Ford F 250 Super Duty 4X4 in September of 2017. I first noticed an issue with the suspension when hitting a bump in the road at 60 mph and almost lost control of the truck. Luckily I was able to slow down and regain control. I begin to do some research and learn of the death wobble that Ford is aware of, I will now take my vehicle in to have the suspension checked. Secondly, I have been having issue's with my sync3 system, bluetooth, climate control, easy entry and exit for the drivers seat and the apple car play feature. After taking my vehicle to the shop, I was told the sync3 system, a couple modules and the chassis harness was replaced to correct the issue's. I have taken my truck to Ford three time for the sync3 malfunction and was told not to use the bluetooth streaming with apple products, which doesn't make sense if it's suppose to work. I have contact Ford for a buy back and the answer of course was "no" I have to take it to the shop a few more times for the same repair and it has already been in the shop more for the sync3 issue than any other issue's. hopefully Ford figures out there issue's and offer greater customer support for a not so cheap vehicle.
